Indoor Track’s Tucker Walker and Dual-Athlete Lili Lam named Spartan Athletes of the Week
In the third installment of this newly appointed series, Indoor Track’s Tucker Walker and Lili Lam have been named by The Spartan Times and Sanford Athletics as “Athletes of the Week” for their performances Jan. 15-20.
Walker, a senior on the team, has continued his impressive tenure as a Spartan Athlete. He took first in the Senior Shot Put with a throw of 48-6 and was named Athlete of the Meet. He also broke the school record earlier this season.
“Tucker has been our most influential and successful thrower this year for our team,” said Coach Lewis. “His performances have been nothing less than impressive and consistent. Our conversations with Tucker are never about him qualifying for states, but how he is going to win states this year.”
Lam, a dual-athlete in Indoor Track and Wrestling, proves the benefits of putting work into both sports. She finished first in the Sr Division High Jump, second in the Sr Division Long Jump, and third in the Girls Sr Division 55m Dash.
“Lili has been an excellent asset for our team despite sharing time with wrestling,” Lewis said. “With our limited numbers in the girls side, her contributions are always impactful. Between her jumping events, sprinting events and role on our relay teams, we are thankful to have such a stellar senior.”
Congratulations to our Spartan Athletes of the Week!
